Resumen
Descripción
The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan
Africa remains a long-term development challenge for the
region. Nearly 12 million African children have been
orphaned as a result of the disease, and 22.5 million people
in Africa 61 percent of them women live with HIV. The
hyperepidemics in Southern Africa have diluted poverty
reduction efforts and in several countries substantially
reduced life expectancy. The critical need to address this
development problem is reflected in the sixth Millennium
Development Goal (MDG), which seeks to halt and begin to
reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015 and to make access to
treatment for HIV/AIDS universal for all those who need it
by 2010. With Sub-Saharan Africa representing nearly
two-thirds of those living with HIV globally, and the fact
that human development indicators of several countries in
the region lag far behind the rest of the world, prospects
for Sub-Saharan Africa reaching any of the MDG goals will
require a sustained response to HIV/AIDS. Reversing the
spread of HIV/AIDS is closely linked to combating other
major diseases referenced in sixth MDG, promoting gender
equality (MDG 3), reducing child mortality (MDG 4) and
improving maternal health (MDG 5).
